2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

You honestly think we have a worse chance of winning than before???????...lol. C'mon man, get serious.

 

Kessler was a good acquisition, the rest are questionable especially small guards Grimes and Sexton

 

It's 60 million

This offseason was more sold by media and fans than the front office. We almost never talk publicly.
This offseason was chosen for this rebuild because AR contract ended now. So the FO aligned Bron's expiring with that to give us more options. It made sense.

It does seem to be an underwhelming all-in. An overpay on each deal is tough to swallow. We could likely get the same guys + 2 other pieces if we negotiated better. That's the most tough part

 

Certainly far from perfect but we are much better.

 

Last season or couple seasons ago a lot of us wanted Sexton when he was in Cleveland,what changed now

 

I would bet my house that we won't be finishing higher than 3rd seed next season. I'll actually be very surprised if we don't end up in the play-in.

We lost a top 15 player, we have no wing defenders, have no assets to improve, not even 2nds

Kessler is an upgrade, but it's like Rob tried to fix a hole while the rest of the boat was leaking.

 

The roster is what it is. I will wait for December to pass full judgement.

If the week starts at .500, I will be okay. But give me a 5 game winning streak or a 5 game losing streak in the beginning, I will probably be reacting accordingly, and yet also I know that will be unrealistic. Oh well.

 

Sexton is the only signing I don't dislike. He makes sense as a 3rd playmaker/bench scoring punch, and short contract.

 

I think the hope is Grimes can get back to shooting 39% from 3 the way he did for half a season in Dallas with Luka, but you didn’t need to commit to a 4 year $60 million contract for that.


The length of the contracts for Sandro and Grimes is what hurts more than anything, if either of them do not work out you can’t trade them because you don’t have draft picks to attach. They will be here and have a Vando like existence

 

Sorry if this has already been said, but today is bringing back strong Moz/Deng vibes. A crummy GM torching the place on his way out (fingers crossed) in a manner so deeply damaging that we will be paying for this for years. Just unbelievable how poorly this team has been run for the last 25 years. That we managed to eek out a few championships despite it should be studied by future historians.

 

and how do we even get out of Vando's contract now?

 

46-36

 

Dang man, hope it gets better for you.

 

Mods can have Big Balls? You are a man ALONE this morning.

 

I am waiting for DK surprise a lot of people because he's basically untradable now

 

We underpaid for the Luka trade and overpaid for Kessler. So the trades kind of balance themselves out lol As for the dollar amount, I think $35M is fair value. Kessler is EXACTLY what we needed. A great lob threat and elite defender. He will push Wemby around. I also like the Grimes signing. As much as we needed a defensive wing, I think we needed a POV defender even more.

Not sure what to think about Mamu yet, but I think Sexton will be a great 6th man. His speed and athleticm will give us another look on offense.
